Critic's Rating: 2.5/5
Plot: Adi (Anjan Nagendra) embarks on a journey from Bengaluru to North India. On the way, he has several lessons to learn.
Review: Adi (Anjan Nagendra) is a happy-go-lucky young man who wants to be famous by making social media reels. His father (Sharath Lohitashwa) wants him to take over the family’s hotel business. Following an argument with his dad, Adi leaves his home in Nelamangala, and goes on a journey to an unknown destination. On the way, he meets strangers who become friends, and friends who become his family. The people he meets along the journey help him understand the balance between duty and desire. Adi’s journey ends in Gangotri, where the actual reason why he embarked on this journey is revealed. And that is worth watching on the big screen.
Debutant director Hayavadana, with a thin plot line, has woven an interesting story. The film ticks all the right boxes of a travel film with an emotional core, but doesn’t offer anything new, except an emotional payoff at the end. The film examines self-discovery, family expectations, and the conflict between personal desires and traditional values. The movie also subtly triggers emotions, while not being too preachy. Since it is a travel film, the scenic shots are placed very well. Overall, the film gives the feeling of a realistic story written and executed well with a good theatrical impact, but with minor flaws.
Lead actors Anjan Nagendra, Venda Rai, Sanjana Doss have delivered what the script demands. The conversation between Sharath Lohitashwa and Anjan is written very realistically, without mincing too much dramatics. One aspect that feels unrealistic is how Adi encounters only Kannada-speaking characters across the country. As a travel film, the director missed the opportunity to show the language diversity. The team could have avoided some unnecessary action sequences. And a better music album would have helped them bring in more traction. The slow pacing and occasional narrative gaps prevent this film from fully realising its potential.
